If you pre-order, your game will include access to the Shock Drop Slaughter Pit with zero atmosphere combat! The game will be out for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on October 14th in North America and October 17th everywhere else.
The PlayStation Blog has a new post with new screenshots and details about Tales From the Borderlands. Here's the important stuff:
The loot you grab in Tales will be available to use in other areas of the Borderlands franchise
It's an episodic series that'll be $4.99 per episode (or you can save with the Season Pass)
The series takes place after the events of Borderlands 2. Handsome Jack is gone. Or is he?
Did someone say loot?
The game is to take place between Borderlands 1 and 2, during Handsome Jack's rise to power. Playable characters include Wilhelm and Claptrap.
GamePointsNow is reporting that the next game in the Borderlands series is going to be a prequel set on the moon, Elpis, and is said to be taking place between the events of the first and second game.
Oxygen will play a huge role in the game, in fact it's actually going to be lootable in the form of OX -Kits.This adds a whole new layer to the combat with you requiring to manage your own oxygen levels while battling your foes, although it does lead to the option of shattering an enemies helmet to instantly deprive them of precious O2 and gain an advantage.
What do you think; bollocks or totally true? If it is true, are you stoked about the idea of Borderlands on the moon?
Tales From the Borderlands will take place on Pandora, but will not follow Vault Hunters. Instead, you will play a con artist and a Hyperion employee telling the story from two perspectives. The game is set to retain the humorous tone of the Borderlands series, and be filled with tough decisions a la The Walking Dead.
Our first look at what's to come from Telltale's take on Borderlands should come from SXSW on March 8th. Stay tuned!
